Mixed Vegetable Semiya Upma.

Mixed Vegetable Semiya Upma is one of my all time favourite dinner options. Its simple as its the same concept as a simple rice pulav, versatile as I can throw in whatever veggies that I have left in the pantry and vermicelli hardly takes any time to cook. In all, its a simple substitute for rice for making Lemon Semiya Upma, Tomato Semiya Upma etc. This was a mish mash of veggies in the pantry, made steaming hot on a cold weeknight enjoyed with chutney, and chips!!!

INGREDIENTS:

2 Green Chillies Chopped fine.

1 Tsp Chopped Ginger.

1 Tsp Chopped Garlic.

Handful of broken cashews.

1 Medium Onion Chopped fine.

1 Medium Tomato Chopped.

2 Carrots diced fine.

1/2 cup baby corn thawed.

Handful of thawed Sweet Peas.

2 Cups Vermicelli cooked as per instructions and drained on colander.

PREPARATION:

Apply a few drops on oil on the cooked vermicelli and keep it aside. This is so that the vermicelli does not stick to each other and become a gooey mass.

Microwave all the veggies – Carrots, Beans, peas, corn etc for 3-4 minutes so they are almost half cooked.

In a kadai, a spoon of oil and allow to heat up. Add mustard, curry leaves, ginger, garlic, green chillies and allow to crackle for a few minutes.

When done, add the chopped onions and saute it well.

When the onions have turned a dull brown, add the diced tomatoes and allow it to get mushy and cook through until all the water has disappeared.

Add salt, turmeric, the half cooked veggies and allow a couple of minutes for it to cook through.

Now add the cooked vermicelli and mix it well.

Add more salt and bring the veggie semiya upma together.

Add a drop of ghee, garnish with chopped cilantro and keep it closed until its ready to be served with Cilantro Chutney.

I love your recipies…. I too would like to try my hands on Baking cookies/cakes, however I do not have an oven, just the microwave. Is there a way i could do the biscuits / cakes in a microwave-not sure about the concept of pre heatng oven?
